It's fun to look at but I always thought salt water would be cooler.
This is my first aquarium, it seems to maintain itself perfectly (not even doing water changes) so I'm guessing anything will be more work than this

Honestly once its running well just 5 minutes a day feeding.
Once a week I'll clean the glass maybe 5 minutes.
Also empty the skimmer a few times a week which takes no time.
I change 10% of the water every few weeks. That takes 30 min to an hour.
Otherwise with enough live rock the tank takes care of itself.
Biggest thing I've learnt... quarantine all new fish for a few weeks before adding them to a display tank. Adding a sick fish right in can lead to months and tons of money wasted as your tank crashes.
